So it has been a stellar week at the Turners.
Trevor was the featured Beekeeper of the month in the bee newsletter - The Buzz.
Wahoo!
Back in November the boys both entered the national Letters About Literature contest. It may be familiar because a few years ago Trevor placed second for the state of Iowa. Well, his week we received not one, but two letters and Trevor was a semi-finalist and Ty a finalist. ( I know I think they are brilliant too :o) I am still in shock. Ty's letter will be posted on their website :
It should be up in the next few days. No they didn't win money jut fame and glory :o)
Last bit on the brag page, we received a letter from the mission president in Fiji about TJ. Yes, I was nervous opening the letter :o) ( Just Kidding TJ!) TJ has been asked to be District Leader for the Tontouta District in the South Zone of New Caledonia. This is a leadership position that will make him responsible for the other missionaries in that area - scary huh? He is also assigned to a brand new missionary to train and the best news of all, according to h?. TJ, is he is allowed to drive! HE had to take a driving test and passed the second time - during the first test the cable connecting the shifting stick to the engine snapped! He assured us it was not his driving that did it, but a common problem in the Citroen ....a comforting thought to mothers everywhere....)
Enough bragging and time for a Trace-ism:
Trace's favorite movie is Cars except he was having trouble saying it..He called it his own special version of "Lightening McQueen." We were all sitting at lunch and he asked it he could watch a movie and we couldn't leave the poor thing alone. The title started out as "Lightening on McQueen," when Tom questioned him it changed to "Lighting on the Queen", then it was "Limey on the Queen" to "Lying on the Queen" to tears and "I just want to watch my movie." We usually don't watch movies during the week, but we made an exception :o) And today it was back to "Lightening on the Queen."
